(Click image for full size) THE BLUE BOY (Jonathan Buttall) The Blue Boy original artist was Thomas Gainsborough. BLUEBOY by Gainsborough 1727-1788 Both painted is quite large; 21 inches wide and 25 inches tall. Gainsborough was born in England and began drawing when he was very young. He started taking lessons at the age of 15. He liked to paint landscapes and portraits of people. He painted many pictures in his lifetime; more than 500 paintings. About 200 of these were paintings of people. He became wealthy because the rich people wanted him to paint pictures of their families. PINKIE (Sarah Barett Moulton) Sara Barrett Moulton (Pinky) by Thomas Lawrence 13 x 18 inches Brushstrokes: Sarah Goodin Barrett Moulton: "Pinkie" 1794 ~~ Thomas Lawrence, 1769-1830 Pinkie was painted by Thomas Lawrence. Blue Boy was Jonathan Buttall, the son of a successful hardware merchant, who was a close friend of the artist. The work was executed during Gainsborough's extended stay in Bath before he finally settled in London in 1774. The artist has dressed the young man in a costume dating from about 140 years before the portrait was painted. Pinkie was Sarah Barrett Moulton. It was painted about 25 years after Gainsborough's masterpiece and had no association with that work until they both were displayed in the Huntington in the late 1920's. Pinkie is an extraordinarily fresh and lively performance with the sitter standing on a hill, her dress blown by the wind. The movement of her dress in conjunction with her frank gaze gives a sense of immediacy to the composition and expresses the animation of the sitter. The young girl was the daughter of a wealthy plantation family in Jamaica, who came to England for her education. Called "Pinkie" by her grandmother who commissioned the protrait, she was only eleven when her likeness was taken. Sadly, Sarah died within a few months of the portrait's completion, probably of tuberculosis. Her younger brother Edward was the father of the poetess Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Pinkie was the last painting purchased by Mr Huntington, who did not live to see it installed in the house.
